As far as GWB’s private experience is concerned: he failed at everything he tried, except help get the new Rangers stadium funded at the taxpayer’s expense.

The Obamas seem to be pretty OK to me.

It strikes me that maybe Michele has been handled for so long, by so many YesMaam’ers that she really doesn’t appreciate how utterly disconnected she is from reality. She is a charcoaled or watercolored version of JackieK –trying to appear to be “it” but lacking the true character and substance that “it” requires of those who pursue the fleeting vainglory.

For someone who doesn’t admit to the supreme ego that drives her, she seems a fake equal of her hubbie. I’m wondering why she’s turned her back on the black underclass and working poor in exchange for fine dining and presidential flatware. I’m wondering why she’s forgotten all those poor, suffering people of Chicago or the inner city DC kids who had a chance at the same brass ring she grabbed onto a few years ago but can’t because her hubbie done axed the innovative voucher program for the poor youth? I’m wondering why Michele has seen fit to forget about the starving masses in Africa while having staff grow deisgner vegetables on raised beds at the White House?

As for oldskool’s standard and discredited far Left, out-of-touch, San Francisco-valued line of: “(Reagan) let people die because they were gay and he thought they deserved it”, no amount of appropriate scorn can do that asshat line of your’s justice. What an ass.

“ummm … Reagan was most certainly not everyone’s grumpy uncle.”

He joked around but he had a mean streak. He let people die because they were gay and he thought they deserved it, after all, and he didn’t even get along with his own kids.

ummm … Reagan was most certainly not everyone’s grumpy uncle.

I wouldn’t call GWB a grumpy uncle either, at least not in 2000. Cheney was pretty grumpy, though.

ummm … Reagan was most certainly not everyone’s grumpy uncle.

Per the LA Times:

Obama arrived in Chicago in 1993 with a degree from Harvard Law School and was hired as a junior lawyer at the firm then known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard. He helped represent clients in civil and voting rights matters and wrongful firings, argued a case before a federal appellate court, and took the lead in writing a suit to expand voter registration.

But the firm also handled routine legal matters and real estate. Obama spent about 70% of his time on voting rights, civil rights and employment, generally as a junior associate. The rest of his time was spent on matters related to real estate transactions, filing incorporation papers and defending clients against minor lawsuits.

Obama’s come off as a hell of lot more real than the previous occupants of 1600 PA AV

Real?

Obama never worked in the private sector in a real job in a real company in his entire life. He was a community organizer, a civil rights lawyer, and taught constitutional law. That’s not exactly representative of the background of 90% of Americans. It isn’t even representative of your own background.

Ross Perot was a heck of a lot more “real” than Obama.
